ASROCK p67 Fatality

wodgah · 17 Mar 2012 at 13:49

After some total disasters leaving me without board/ram/psu amongst other things ive had to pick up some bits and pieces for cheap and have ended up with this board and a 2500k.

Never having had either before im curious as to whether its easy to overclock, i cant say im the hugest fan of the branding (fatality not asrock) but its going in a windowless case thatll run close to silent and i hope will give me decent performance.

Anyone else had experience with this board before and what are you thoughts on it ?

Hi Mate,

Its an excellent board, when sandybridge first came out I jumped on it using an Asus motherboard. 2 RMA's later I bought this when it was on special offer and i've never looked back.

I now have a 2700k overclocked to 5.2ghz with HT enabled using offset voltage upto 1.434v. Obviously this is under high end watercooling but the board itself even under auto overclocking is really good. The only thing putting me off ivybridge is the fact this motherboard is so reliable.

Cheers

Thanks for the info, im only going to be cooling it with a Corsair H100 but pretty sure that should be enough for 4.4 which is what id like to aim for as a daily use clock.

You'll be fine with that, it has an auto overclock feature for 4.4,4.6 and 4.8 all of them worked well. When using the auto overclock feature it usually overvolts by 0.02-0.03vcore though.

Set up the new pc over the weekend and everythings running well, I will be honest and say I just used the preset overclock of 4.4 ghz and seems to be running very well. Ran prime95 for 2 hours and temp didnt go over 58 using the H100.

I have it all installed and have used the onboard overclock function to clock my i5 2500k to 4.4 , and have a corsair h100 on the lowest setting so its near silent and under full load on prime95 it gets to 58 degrees max after 4 hours. So far i am very happy with it.
